Gandi`s essay three

Essay 3

My argument is for Korea`s educational system. First, it is a cramming method of teaching. Second, everything is a competition in the Korea student society. Third, the studying is not for how to live a student`s life and growing, it is for going to college. Finally, all of this brings out suicide.

First, the method of education in Korea is cramming. It is not made for the student to think and get to the answer it is made for them to memorize just by words. That I think is not studying. It is just rote memorizing. I think this kind of education is not for the students because it is not useful for the students. The students cannot use that information for anything except for the tests.

Second, the Korea education system is all competing against each other. A student who has good grades, are treated nicely by the student and gets loved by them. But the students who has bad grades are treated not so good. This kind of treatment makes the student wants to get good grades. If the student does not go to a good university, they get mistreated by other people. This kind pressure on little students are really heavy to handle.

This kind of pressure makes the students go wrong. Some students takes their friend`s notebook and throws it away because that student might get better grades on the tests and that will make the other student go to a university that is not so good. This is a really wrong behavior and the students know that. So, why do those students make up their minds to do that behavior? My answer is that they were scared. They were scared if they might get more bad grade than the other student. They were scared that they cannot go to a better university and that they might be ignored by the people who went there.

Third, the studies that the students do in schools are not for learning and using that information to live a better and helpful life, they are learning those things to go to a better university. Many students in Korea, they think about what they want to do in their lives after that go to college and those thoughts were supposed to be done in high school. They are late because they only knew about studying and going to a better university in high school.

This kind of education is really bad and it is ruining a person`s life. If a student studies really hard without no reason just because his/her parents told them to study. And he/she goes to a really good medical university and becomes a doctor. Do you think he can become a better doctor than a person who wanted to become a doctor for specific reasons and always prepared and always prayed for that job? I think it is a no. A job a person choose should be thought over and over again I think. That I think should be done in high schools.

Finally, all of this really bad education and the competition system, brings out a horrible situation. It leads to suicide. I think and everyone thinks that suicide is a really bad thing. Korea`s student suicide rate is the world`s best. I think this is directly related to the educational system in this country because half of the time of the students` life is spent in the school.

For conclusion, the educational system should be changed
